API
Emmanuel Macron's government reshuffle under Prime Minister Gabriel Attal reflects a return to the Sarkozy years, with the appointment of right-wing ministers and a focus on work, security forces, and the importance of merit. The appointment of Rachida Dati, a Nicolas Sarkozy loyalist, aims to destabilize LR and may foreshadow an alliance with the Parisian right in the 2026 municipal elections. The government's approach seeks to narrow the far-right's electorate and revive Macron's second term.
